The Aravallis are among the oldest mountain ranges on Earth.

They recharge groundwater, give birth to rivers, support forests, and act as a natural barrier against the expansion of the Thar Desert.

But across Rajasthan, villagers allege that decades of mining have left rivers polluted, groundwater depleted, homes cracked by blasting, and entire communities struggling to survive.

In this documentary, journalist Debayan Dutta travels across the Aravalli range to document a growing environmental conflict unfolding far from the national spotlight.

From villages that have spent more than 1,000 days protesting, to families battling silicosis, to activists risking their livelihoods and personal safety, this film explores what happens when ordinary people are forced to defend the land they depend on.
